Rotary cutter

I am going to get a heavy duty 7 foot rotary cutter.
So far I have a price on:

Bush Hog 326 for $5600
It has duel wheels, front and rear chains, weight 2043 lb, and 190 HP gearbox

Land Pride RCF3684 for $5400
Duel rear wheels [?], front and rear chains, weight?, 190 HP gearbox

John Deere HX7 for $5750
Single wheel, front and rear chains, weight?, 150 HP gearbox

Howse...I cannot find a dealer???

Does anyone have or run any of these rotary cutters? I know the next step down is about $2000 less, such as the Bush Hog 297 for $3700.

The tractor is a 5083e, and I do not even know the PTO shaft size yet.

I agree with the others about the dual spindle. I run a bushhog 3210 (10ft)which requires a minimum of 55 pto hp. A bushhog 327 requires a minimum of 70 pto hp. I have been very happy with the bushhog brand. The 3210 is built like a tank.

I knew, if I waited, I would get the answer I was looking for.

Soundguy, the Bush Hog 3008 dual spindle has a cutting capacity of (max) 2" . I may get a dual spindle grass cutter later.

Thanks for the ideas guys.

The 326 is just a 6' cutter, the 327 is 7', btw.
